LAMP-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 258,365, dated May 23,1882.

Application filed April 15,1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDsoN L. BRYANT, of Ansonia, in the county of NewHaven and State of Connecticut, have invented new Improvements inLamp-Burners; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken inconnection with accompanying drawings and the letters of reference arkedthereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, andwhich said drawings constitute part of this specification, andrepresent, in-

Figure 1, a sectional side view; Fig. 2, the chimney-rest andair-distributor as cut from sheet metal; Fig. 3, a top view.

This invention relates to an improvementiu that class of burners whichconsist of a chimney-rest attached to a base to be secured to theburner, and a deflector on said chimney-rest, with a perforatedair-distributer between the base and the deflector, and particularly tothat class in which the deflector is hinged to the chimney-rest. Inburners in which the deflector is hinged to the chim hey-rest thesprings which secure the chimney upon the rest have usually been made inseparate pieces and secured either to the chimney-rest or base below.

The object of my invention is to construct the chimney-rest,air-distributor, and springs in one andthe same piece, and so that thedeflector may be hinged thereto and in such construction, as more fullyhereinafter described, my invention consists.

A is the base of the burner, threaded in the usual manner for attachmentto the lam p-collar. The chimney-rest B is cut from sheet metal, in diskform, a little larger than the diameter required for the rest, and atseveral points around its edge-here represented as tone-projecting armsC are formed in the pro cess of cutting the rest-that is, in one and thesame piece with the rest. The central portion, D, is perforated to formthe air-distrib' uter, and at the center an aperture, 0, for thewick-tube is made. This blank is struck up to form a centralconcavo-convex air-distributer, the edge turned up to form the flange1), within which the chimney stands. The arms C are turned up and bentinward, as seen in Fig. 1.

in one and the same The deflector E is of usual form but instead ofbeing entirely removable from the distributer or rest, as usual in thisclass of construction, it is hinged at one side, as at d, and on theother is secured by a tongue, e, passing down through an opening out inthe chimhey-rest, as seen in Fig.2. The hinging-point d comes midwaybetween either. two of the springs C, as seen in Fig. 3, so that inraising the deflector it will swing outward between the arms, as seen inFig. 1, and broken lines, Fig. 3. V

The chimney-rest is secured to the base by arms h in the usual or anywell known n1anuer.

I am aware that chimney-rests have been 6 constructed with springsaround the edge, formed in the same piece with the chimneyrest; butthese have been in the form ofaslitted flange, continuous around theedge, and in the construction of burners with such a chim- 7o ney-restit has been necessary to make the deflector detachable. It cannot behinged because it cannot be opened, the spring-flange around the restpreventing such opening movement of the deflector. By my improvementI amenabled to make the rest, air-distributer, and springs in one and thesame piece, and hinge the deflector thereto, and in so doing save verymuch of the labor required in the manufacture of this class of burnersover that in which the springs are made separate from the chimney-rest.

I do not wish to be understood as claiming broadly a chimney-restandsprings constructed piece with an air-deflector. 8

I claim- As an article of manufacture, the herein-described burner,consisting of the chimney-rest, perforated air-distributer, and springsC, all made in one and the same piece, attached to 0 the base, andhaving the deflector E, hinged to the rest at a point between thechimneysprings, substantially as described.
